Brittany Howard’s ‘Jaime’ is a personal, political soul exploration. Read our review
Brittany Howard is a Southern rock & roll radical with a centuries-deep sense of history and some inspiring ideas about how to reshape it to fit our moment. As the lead singer and guitarist for the expansively retro-minded Alabama Shakes, she’s combined garage rock, soul, and psychedelia. In 2015, she convened the well-named punk-rock side project Thunderbitch, reimagining vintage New York punk as roadhouse stomp..
Howard’s newest collaborators here are keyboardist Robert Glasper and drummer Nate Smith, worldly jazz musicians who help turn riffs like the cosmic boom-bap opus “13th Century Metal” into shape-shifting explorations.The most potent moments interrogate Southern traditions in ways that go well beyond mere musical reinvention.
“He Loves Me” is an anthem of lapsed religious devotion and personal freedom, sampling a black preacher who testifies about a friend who’s going to live a long life “ ’cause he ain’t worried about nothing,” as Howard’s guitar makes liberated noise and she praises her personal Jesus: “I know He still loves me/I know He still loves me when I’m smoking blunts.” And then there’s “Georgia,” a protest jam for our current right-wing apocalypse.
